After a trip around the wrecking yard, looking for what I probably don't need but will come in handy on day things.
I spotted this
Table saw shaft 320mm overall length, 75mm blade flanges, 5/8" arbor
After a few applications of WD40 and some heat to the nut the old 10" wood blade was removed. It may have came off sooner but I discovered that it was left hand thread and the old blade was on the wrong way. I'd hate to have the blade come loose on a table saw, trust me I almost lost my left index finger to a table saw.
Thinking building a 10" saw with the capacity to swap out the blade to 14", should give approx 90mm cutting depth depending on the placement of the carriage or about 140mm for a 14" blade.
Does anyone have recommendations on the style of clamp. Have seen clamps from the sides, top, or chain style.
Anyone used linear bearings on round rod for the carriage transfer. I was thinking these but the grit and dust may be too hard on them.
Round rod mounded to blocks attached to T track so alignment can be adjusted.
It will be a counter weight feed, weight on a string so that's easy.
Cross feed I was thinking a milled dovetail or a pair of milled parallel channels and corresponding on the bed with a locking screw or bolt.
What capacity sump. Probably looking at running water as the coolant feed to the blade with a pond pump.
What RPM should I look at for a 10" blade? I have a variety of pulleys available and a 3/4 horse motor just sitting around.
I had an idea in my head, but now with a left hand thread I'll have to mirror the image.
Would love to buy a saw but the money goes into fuel so I can look for rocks, plus my allowance the my wife has set will only go so far. So it will be a project that is not rushed into.
